Meteorologists issued tsunami advisories for several countries after the 7.6-magnitude earthquake.

A 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Honduran coast late Tuesday, prompting officials to issue tsunami threats for much of the Caribbean.

The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the massive quake at around 9:50 p.m. about 27 miles east of the Swan Islands in Honduras.

There was no immediate word of structural damage or injuries.

The National Tsunami Warning Center ceased all warnings at around midnight after Belize and the Cayman Islands experienced a small increase in waves an hour prior. Meteorologists warned of possible tsunami waves up to three feet above the tide to reach the coasts of Belize and Honduras.

A tsunami advisory was initially issued for the Virgin Islands and the beleaguered U.S. territory of Puerto Rico but was later canceled.
